This year the Student Council tuberculosis drive will be held from November 29 to December 3. The goal is $500, which will be used for X‑rays, tuberculosis skin tests, education, care of patients, and research in the disease.

Class competition will again be featured and students will be able to give their donations to their Student Council representative in homeroom or in the cafeteria where charts of the classes' progress will be posted. A tuberculosis insignia will be given to everyone who contributes.

Linda Olson '66 is the chairman of the campaign sponsored by the Tuberculosis Institute of Chicago and Cook County. Mr. Collister is the faculty sponsor of the drive.

The publicity committee, headed by Pete Dellegrazio '67, consists of Rich Suda '68, Jan Spear '69, Nancy Carlson '66, Jan Erickson '67, and Gus Herrero '66. The committee for distribution and collection, with Jim McNurney '67, as chairman, is made up of Linda Markowski '66, Monte Abbott '68, Corliss Belzer '69, Kathy Wolf '69, and Dick Schellin '67. Chairman of the competition committee is John Carl '68, and the members are Jody Kinder '69, Robin Swain '66, Joe Richardson '67, Bill Zografos '68, Sheila Quinn '67, and Pat Clement '67.

Last year the class of '66 won the competition by contributing the most to the total gain of $445.54, surpassing the anticipated goal of $400.

The Tuberculosis Institute of Chicago and Cook County keeps in constant contact with Chicago and suburban communities throughout the year in order to win an understanding with facts and figures and enlist help in the attack against tuberculosis. Each scheduled X‑ray area receives a program suited to its particular needs.

During the past year staff members enlisted the help of 553 local organizations, which furnished 7,269 volunteers who donated 18,383 hours of service. A total of 211 X‑ray sites in 42 Chicago communities and 111 sites in 71 suburban areas were covered in the program.

To get in touch with those persons who were not members of local organizations, 4,350 posters were displayed and 551,018 pamphlets were distributed.

The Christmas Seal Campaign, an important feature of the tuberculosis program was also very successful in 1964. The generosity of over a half million Chicagoland residents led the TB Drive over its goal of $875,000 to an all‑time high of $940,501.

From the funds raised in the Christmas Seal drive, 93 percent remained in Chicago and the suburbs to continue the intensive struggle against tuberculosis in 1965. The rest went to the National Tuberculosis Association to be used in research and control of tuberculosis and respiratory diseases.

Concerning the anticipated success of the drive, Linda Olson '66, chairman, said, 'Since our goal this year is $500, let's all fire up and prove how great our school is!"
